    Stevie had that LOS Allen Iverson crossover in the NFL. His slippery shakes and head fakes were maddening on CBs. 

     

    3 straight 1K seasons with Fitzpatrick should tell you everything you need to know. I like Fitz, but c'mon. 

     

    Imagine if he had Josh?

    I like Stevie a lot, but he barely cleared 1000 yards those years as our primary receiver and it wasn't because he was held back by Fitz.  Fitz enabled guys like Brandon Marshall and Mike Evans to put up huge numbers in his stints with the Jets and Bucs, and even got Devante Parker to 1200 yards as a starter for the Fins.

    That's what Brees himself states, now "click bait" is considered the person themselves stating his limitations?

     

    Strange world we live in 

    Okay, you got me. You're technically right, but that quote in the context of the post in totality (See "Heartbreaking", "Awful") makes it sound like some sort of tragedy and almost attributes a "woe is me" attitude to Brees that I'm certain he doesn't share.  The guy has some pain and loss of function when attempting to throw a football.  He's still out there doing tons of active stuff everyday.  He's generally fine compared with other 40-something guys who have played sports.

    Oh, boo-hoo! Seriously? Heartbreaking? Hardly.

    I doubt Brees wants anyone to feel bad for him.  He can't throw a football anymore, but there's tons of us guys in our 40s with untreated rotator cuff injuries who can no longer throw a football or baseball without pain, but we can still do most everything else.  I see videos of Brees golfing and playing pickleball all the time.  He's living his best life.  The headline: "ARM DOES NOT WORK" is just ridiculous clickbait to get us talking.

    What do you want to happen? He was never caught with possession; you can’t prove what it was.

    You'd like to think they could at least punish the Pats by giving them a couple extra 3rd round compensation picks!

    Pretty ordinary cactches by NFL TE.  Dalton dropped that pass in the Broncos game.  Im shocked Denver didn't challenge.  Name a starting TE in the NFL and I will post a better highlight reel.  Not only were they ordinary catches, but as per usual, Dalton is tackled upon first contact

    Oh, come on!!!  He's either immediately lit up or diving on every one of these catches.

    I suspect he is more on about the flirting with other women on a boat his girlfriend is also on. And I agree with Aaron Quinn on that. Don't presume everyone's relationship has to work in a traditional manner. Let people live how they wanna live. 

     

    The drugs is a different issue but looking at the tweet he replied to not sure that is what Aaron meant.

     

    Bowie was bisexual. He had multiple male partners. There are rumours about Jagger but unsubstantiated I think.

    I thought Bowie's wife found him in bed with Jagger.  At least that was the story I always heard as a kid.  Anyhow, like you said, let people live how they wanna live, so long as no one is hurt.

    He’s been pretty strict on what he puts in his body and he’s hyper focused on proving he’s not done after the injury.  So I would just personally be a little surprised if he was a user rather than just a provider in this instance.  Especially with camp here and the risks with drug testing as well.  
     

    It’s not uncommon for athletes to bring “party favors” when they aren’t using them themselves.  But who knows, maybe he does…just saying I’d be a little surprised

    I lived and went to school in Los Angeles and had some friends in wilder circles (like famous AVN starlet types...lol).  It wasn't uncommon for guys who didn't "use" to be "holding" for when girls came to party.

    let he who has never snorted pink cocaine on a luxury yacht cast the first stone, I say.

    It's a regular part of my weekend routine:

     

    Saturday: little league, honey-dos and grilling with the family

     

    Sunday: Attend church, pink cocaine, boats and h.o.e.s.

  8. His teammates weren't kidding.  Lock up your daughters, sisters and wives with this guy around.  Great talent, but seemingly very troubled and immature human being.

  9. I wish it were that easy.  I've been a Bills fan since '83 (or really since birth) when my father picked me up from daycare and couldn't find a sitter for me (Mom worked nights), so he left a note for my mom and dragged me to a Monday night game against the Jets (yes, you can bet my dad was in the doghouse with Mom when we got home).  I don't remember much from the game (I know we got killed and it broke some sort of record for fights and arrests) except for walking through the section tunnel and seeing the bright green field under the lights - it felt like magic!  Turned out to be the first of probably 75-85 games I attended over the next 12 years.

    I had a poster of Jim Kelly before Josh was born. But I had never watched a game (not just a Bills game, ANY NFL game). Don't know if that puts me in this category or not 😄

    Wow.  How did this come to be and what was your first game?

    I too think we need to see improvement, but a must?  Recall we had one of the best offenses in the league last year. 
     

    Kincaid should be better coming back from injury, and Coleman should be better having gained necessary experience last year..

    We lost Cooper and Hollins.  Say what you will about their production, but they were both veterans who knew their roles and did things the right way.  If Coleman and Kincaid don't step up (or God forbid they backslide), we'll need big contributions from Moore and Palmer.

  11. The shoulder area and width of his upper back look suspect, but it's hard to tell from a few seconds of a guy sitting at a podium.  Did he just come from a lifting session?  Could just be he's gotten bigger naturally and he's pumped after a workout.  If he's on the juice, it will catch up with him eventually either via injury (see David Boston, Cushing, etc.) or suspension.

  12. Finally saw it with the wife this past weekend. Kind of half great (build up, music and ancestor scene) and half meh (once it went full on From Dusk to Dawn through the denouement) but I'd recommend it for the music alone.  Overall, cool movie and worth a watch. Delroy Lindo was especially good.

    If I have to hear another student say " no one has died from pot smoking" I will explode. How are so many people aware that cigarette smoke causes cancer but completely unaware that any smoke in your lungs is bad. I don't have a moral qualm with smoking but the lying is annoying. Also doesn't mention the driving while high part, which is much more dangerous for the younger people.

    Well, you can always eat it.  Edibles do me well when I want a good night sleep.

    A year ago I guess I get it.  I just don't understand it now. We lead the league in points when you include postseason. No one scored more points than us last year though than us, including the Super Bowl champions. We did it last year without Stefon Diggs.  How is this group not better than last year's group? The offenses job is to score points.  I get that we need something to fight about in the off-season but we need to stop bitchin' about WR's.

    We had a +24 turnover differential last year. +8 more than any other team.  That might happen once every couple of decades. We were 10th in total offense last year.  Good, not great, especially considering a great offensive line and an MVP quarterback.  We clearly lacked explosiveness and playmaking at the receiver position, and haven't done much to address it.
